Did Miss become a nun today?

The two stood facing each other, completely unaware that someone had arrived outside the door.

Pei Changyu saw the two people standing at the door as soon as he arrived, and his smile turned cold.

"I've been looking for my cousin for ages."

He walked straight in, stood between the two, and looked down at Xie Yun Chu. "I bought some of your favorite snacks. Would you like to try some?"

Before she could speak, Wei Zhao interrupted, "Young Master Pei, your timing is unfortunate. We just had lunch, so Miss Xie shouldn't be hungry."

Indeed, the leftover food on the table hasn't been cleared away yet.

"How did General Wei know that his cousin was full?"

Xie Yun Chu felt helpless. She had indeed felt uncomfortable during the meal, but it sounded childish coming from her older cousin.

Pei Changyu's smile remained unchanged; instead, it became even gentler.

His gaze fell upon her, his concern as gentle as a spring breeze, "Is my cousin truly full?"

He was clearly smiling, but she still felt he was threatening her.

She took the pastries from his hand without opening them, and said, "Thank you, cousin."

The atmosphere inside the room was so awkward that she decided to say goodbye to Wei Zhao and go find Zhao Mingyue.

That brat tricked her into coming here, but then she disappeared without a trace. If she had known this would happen, she would never have come.

She took a step and walked out, and Pei Changyu and Wei Zhao followed her without her noticing, and she couldn't shake them off no matter what she did.

She stopped and turned to look at the two of them. "Don't you two have any important business to attend to today?"

"Today is a day off," Pei Changyu replied calmly.

"Yes, a day off," Wei Zhao echoed.

Xie Yun Chu: "..."

Fine, if she can't afford to offend them, can't she just avoid them?

*

Wei Lin had just stepped out when he bumped into Pei Changfeng on the street.

The two are now so incompatible that it's no exaggeration to say they argue every time they meet.

Today, however, we have come together in a rare occurrence.

"When we get to the military camp, you'll keep an eye on your brother, and I'll keep an eye on mine. Understand?" Pei Changfeng instructed in a low voice.

Wei Lin waved his hand, "I know, do you need to tell me?"

Pei Changfeng stared at him for a moment, still uneasy. "I'm warning you, if you dare to seduce her again, I won't let you off the hook."

"Tch, do you think you can beat me? My kung fu may not be as good as my older brother's, but my father taught me everything. What good is your pathetic skill?"

Pei Changfeng is now an official, though his rank is not high. But he is no longer a playboy like Wei Lin who idles away his days.

He had absolutely no chance of winning against Xie Yun Chu.

Thinking of this, Pei Changfeng felt a sense of relief.

So what if he's good at kung fu? My cousin won't like him.

Even if Xie Yun Chu were blind, she would never look down on a good-for-nothing playboy.

He scoffed, "What's the use of having such skills? I live under the same roof as my cousin, and what about you? I can't even see you. What are you so smug about?"

Wei Lin was hit where it hurt, and he was so angry that he wanted to scratch Wei Lin's face.

Xie Yun Chu was so devoted to him before, wasn't it all because of his face?

Without that face, with his awful temper, Xie Yun Chu probably wouldn't even give him a second glance.

The two snorted coldly and remained silent the whole way until they finally arrived at the military camp.

Before Xie Yun Chu could find Zhao Ming Yue, she saw the two of them running towards her.

"cousin!"

"Xie Yunchu".

Before she could shake off the two guys behind her, two more appeared in front of her, and Xie Yun Chu's head throbbed with pain.

Zhao Mingyue, you'd better come back now, or we're breaking up!

Wei Lin and Pei Changfeng were most afraid of their eldest brother, but today they seemed not to see him at all. They stood in front of her and began to fuss over her, completely ignoring the two icy gazes behind them.

"Cousin, I've brought that horse over today! You haven't ridden it even once since we brought it back to the Marquis's mansion. Since the weather's nice today, shall I take you for a ride?"

"Xie Yun Chu, I also brought a stove. Didn't you say you wanted to sit around a stove and brew tea? I've prepared everything today, so you won't get cold even outside."

The two people chattered incessantly in her ear like magpies, which was very annoying.

What sins did she commit in her past life to offend these four people?

"Wei Lin, what are you doing here?" Wei Zhao asked coldly.

Pei Changyu didn't rush to speak, and didn't even look directly at the two of them. He just turned his head slightly to look at Wei Zhao beside him, a thin smile on his lips. "General Wei has fought for many years and has a high reputation in the army, yet he can't control his own younger brother."

Wei Zhao glanced at him. "That's no need for Young Master Pei to worry about. The Pei family has an upright reputation, and you shouldn't have any designs on your younger brother's former fiancée, right?"

Although Wei Zhao was straightforward, he was not blind to the situation. Pei Changyu was clearly targeting Xie Yunchu.

The Pei family is truly a den of wolves and tigers; both brothers are eyeing a little girl, and neither of them is any good!

Xie Yun Chu stood in the middle of the four people, feeling like meat on a chopping board, being cut and eaten by each of them.

Wei Lin blocked her way from both sides, neither of them giving way.

She took a half step back, nearly stepping on Pei Changyu's foot.

"Cousin, be careful." Pei Changyu reached out and gently supported her waist. After stabilizing her, he subtly moved half a step to her side, just enough to separate her from Wei Lin.

His smile remained unchanged as he gently coaxed, "It's windy outside, let's talk about it when we get back."

Before Wei Lin could react, Pei Changfeng exploded.

"Big brother, move aside." Pei Changfeng stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the hand Pei Changyu was placing on Xie Yun Chu's side.

"If my cousin wants to go horseback riding, she can go horseback riding; if she wants to brew tea, she can brew tea. Why are you stopping her?"

Seeing this, Wei Lin was not to be outdone, "That's right, Yun Chu is about the same age as us, so naturally she has more to talk about with us. The two older brothers are older and more mature, so they shouldn't join in this fun."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yun Chu wanted to give her a thumbs up. She was really bold to speak to Pei Chang Yu like that.

Speaking of which, Pei Changyu is the oldest among them, already twenty-four years old this year.

Children his age are already running around everywhere.

However, these words had no effect on Pei Changyu.

He glanced at his younger brother indifferently. "Changfeng, aren't you on duty today? Coming to the military camp at this hour, do you still want your rank?"

Pei Changfeng stiffened his neck and said, "I've taken leave."

"Are you asking for leave?"

"I rejected your leave request last time. Who gave you permission to take a day off today?"

Pei Changfeng's face froze instantly. Wei Lin, who was watching the drama unfold, deliberately dragged out his teasing, "Oh, Pei Changfeng, you're so arrogant outside, but at home you're still just a little brother, aren't you? You even need your brother's approval to ask for leave?"

"Shut up!" Pei Changfeng, losing face, turned and glared at him. "What right do you, a spoiled brat without even an official position, have to talk to me like that?"

Pei Changfeng was furious at the mere mention of this official position.

He had asked Su Yu to find him a job in the Ministry of War, but he ended up being assigned to the Ministry of Revenue, right under his elder brother's nose.

If he had known better, why would he have bothered looking for Su Yu? He could have just gone to his older brother.

"Who are you calling a playboy?" Wei Lin retorted angrily.

"I'm talking about you. You spend all day walking your birds and playing with your dog, you don't even have a proper job."

"Pei Changfeng, are you asking for trouble?"

The two had remarkably similar temperaments, constantly at odds, neither willing to give in.

"Enough," Wei Zhao said in a deep voice.

His voice wasn't loud, but as someone who had led troops for many years, he naturally exuded a chilling aura. As soon as he spoke, everything fell silent.

"Wei Lin, what are you doing at the military camp? How many times have I told you, this is a restricted area, no unauthorized personnel allowed."

Wei Lin was intimidated by his older brother's public reprimand, but he refused to back down. "I came to see Xie Yun Chu, not you. Besides, Zhao Ming Yue could have just brought her in. Does coming in make me a nobody? Do you own this military camp?"

The two brothers were locked in a fierce argument, leaving Xie Yun Chu caught in the middle. His temples throbbed, and his ears were ringing; he couldn't hear a single word they were saying.

Neither of the two brothers would give in, and Xie Yun Chu was caught in the middle, feeling a throbbing pain in her temples.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, she quietly moved back, trying to slip away.

You two can keep arguing, she's leaving now.
